Better Mondays begin on Sunday.

You don’t need a perfect plan.
But you do need to start with clarity about where you’re headed.

Set the tone. Sharpen the focus.
Most of the week’s drama is just poor planning in disguise.

Florida State scheduled an SEC powerhouse. They won a power five conference. They won all their games, overcoming adversity along the way. This isn’t figure skating, judges should never have been a part of it. #FSU #CFP

The four should be the following- *if the committee has any credibility or integrity…

1. Washington
2. Michigan
3. Florida State
4. Texas

•Full disclosure…I think the committee has zero credibility or integrity.

@SeanPittman Right on - it ain’t hard. That is what it should be. No need to delete. The chatter is just noise:

Most New Year's Resolutions only last the first three weeks of January, but that doesn't have to be you. I'm thinking about how to turn dreams into reality this year.

Stories can help you persuade people but you don't need a library of ‘war stories’ to illustrate your point. Asking them to imagine what the future would be like or describing what you think a course of action would entail can be just as effective.

Remember: often what we ask people to do in a crisis, or in any high-stakes situation are things they don't want to do. No one wants to go onto prime-time TV and apologize. Or fire their COO. So how do we get them to do the hard things?

Sometimes, you know your audience is going to need a lot of convincing. That’s when you need to bring your A-game and be your most persuasive.

[Bill Coletti @bcoletti]

To be most effective as advisors and leaders, we need to be inquisitive and curious, innovative and thoughtful, employ great questions, and be deliberate in our decision-making. But if we’re not persuasive, our great ideas will fall on deaf ears.

Three things that make a big difference to your persuasiveness are your delivery, the stories you tell and how you frame things.

Complex challenges are difficult enough to solve but allowing biases, group think, and naval gazin to creep in will only make things harder. Ensure you are in the right frame of mind, and clear headed as you tackle your most pressing problems.

Seeing the sequence ‘circle, triangle, square’ a couple of times might help you identify a pattern to solve a problem. Unfortunately, complex problems aren’t so straightforward so don’t let your patterns lead you astray.

[Bill Coletti @bcoletti]

Complex problems require the right mindset and tools to solve because there aren’t any easy answers. Often, your role will be to determine the least bad option and make that work.

Patterns are powerful tools and will form a major part of your toolkit as a strategic advisor and thinker. Just keep their limitations in mind and dedicate time to studying to build your pattern library.

Three techniques to help you cultivate a strategic mindset are daydreaming, reading the right books and asking great questions but also paying attention to your environment. A chaotic setting won’t allow you the mental space to think clearly

[Bill Coletti @bcoletti]

A pre-requisite for strategic thinking is distraction-free time. Put aside some 'thinking time' to look at your issues from a strategic perspective. But you don't need hours of Zen-like meditation: even 30 minutes each day will give you enough time.

[Bill Coletti @bcoletti]

Protect yourself and the other decision-makers from distractions when you're trying to conduct strategic thinking. Create space between you and any distractions (and remember that a hangry decision-maker is a poor decision-maker)

A tactical frame of mind just isn’t going to cut it in some situations.
